1:32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc North Weald 132 Wing RAF is a Vingtor Decals set in 1:32 scale aimed at the machines of No. 132 Wing RAF operating from the North Weald airfield. It is not a kit but an accessory for a model.
Responsibility details are not available.
The item is a separate sheet of decals in the large 1:32 scale meant for a plastic model of the Spitfire Mk.IXc. The theme is the marking of the machines of No. 132 Wing RAF with its home base at North Weald. In 1:32 every piece of lettering and every insignia is markedly larger than in the more usual scales, so the quality of the printing and the register of the colors show a great deal in the result. The exact list of the individual machines and their codes is given in the instructions in the package.
The Spitfire Mk.IX was an intermediate step that arose from fitting a two-stage supercharged Merlin engine into the airframe of the previous version. The letter c in the designation refers to the so-called universal wing, which allowed various combinations of armament. The recognition features of the nine are a longer nose, a four-blade propeller and a pair of radiators under the wing, one under each half. During the build it pays to check whether the kit chosen matches exactly this sub-version, because individual Mk.IXs differed in the shape of the cowling, the exhausts and the canopy.
Large decals stand fewer mistakes than small ones, so plan the order beforehand. Varnish the base with gloss varnish and let it cure for at least a day. Slide the motif off the backing paper onto an area dampened beforehand, not a dry one, or it will grip before you can align it. Force air bubbles out with a soft rubber squeegee or a cotton bud from the middle to the edges; on pronounced engraved lines it helps to pierce the decal with a needle and dampen it again with a setting solution. Once everything is dry, even the surface out with varnish, so that the edges of the carrier disappear.
This is a separate set of decals. The model, paints and varnish are not included in the package.
